Burridge are celebrating an ECB Southern Premier League and T20 Cup double.
A week after being crowned Premier Division champions for the first time, they lifted the T20 Cup with a 15-run win over Alton at South Wilts, who hosted the finals superbly.
Burridge were soon into their stride with Mat Goles taking 15 off spinner Dan Sumner's opening over. They lost Inayat Ullah in the second over, but regained control with the Cape Town opener soon into his stride.
The Premier League champions had 51 runs on the board in the sixth over when Goles (35), having struck two sixes and four boundaries, was superbly run out by a Freddie Egleton direct hit.

Cape Town team-mate Nathan Schoultz took up the challenge, shelving his disappointing SPL summer - he made 210 only runs in 11 knocks and didn't score 20 in July or August - to make a match winning 56.
Employing his favoured sweep shot, Schoultz launched four maximums in a 36-ball knock which had Burridge rattling along at almost ten runs an over.
A 200-total looked a real possibility - until the emerging Zac Gadsby (3-21) clean bowled three batsmen in a row, including Schoultz, to check progress at 128-5.
Dan Scott (2-21) nipped in with a brace as Alton slowed the run rate, only 21 coming off the last four overs as Burridge closed 165-8.
Boiling
Cup winners in 2019, Alton began confidently and had 38 runs on the board in the sixth over when teen Sam Ruffell holed out.
Dan Harris (27), struggling with an ankle injury, kept the pot boiling - but Brad Griffiths (3-21) took wickets in three successive overs to leave the Brewers 78-4 by the 12th over.

Scott Myers (31) kept Alton's fading hopes alive but when left-hander Joe Paul (27 not out) lofted Oli Southon for three sixes in the penultimate over, the total reached 145-5.
It gave Alton a sniff, but only three runs came off the final over by the economical Dan Stancliffe (2-16). They closed 148-6.
Burridge became the ninth club to land a Premier League and T20 Cup double.
South Wilts achieved the feat in 2006 and then both trophies three times in a row between 2013 and 2015. Havant also won on three occasions in 2007, 2011 and again five years later, in 2016. BAT Sports were the first back in 2005.
The finals had been moved away from the Ageas Bowl as the Southern Premier League were, unsurprisingly, unwilling (and probably unable) to cough up the near £6,500 stadium hiring fee Hampshire were asking.
